We have a new entry in the race for the ugliest Inland political contest of 2016.

It comes from the 40th Assembly District, where Republican Assemblyman Marc Steinorth and Democratic challenger Abigail Medina are getting nasty in a big-money fight that could help alter the balance of power in Sacramento.

In response, Ben Golombek of the Medina campaign said: “These are the sad lies of a desperate man (who’s) willing to say anything to hold on to his Assembly seat.”

“Let’s look at the facts, Marc Steinorth voted to make it harder for law enforcement to investigate child pornographers,” Golombek said. “Marc Steinorth opposed $5 million in funding to help sexually abused children. I’m all for having puppies adopted, but wouldn’t Marc Steinorth’s time have been better spent protecting abused children? The hypocrisy of this man is simply galling.”

The puppies line was a reference to a Steinorth’s work on behalf of pet adoptions.

Abigail Medina does favor allowing convicted persons to vote…….in direct violation of a proposition passed by Californians in 1974 to deny convicted persons the right to vote. Since when does the vote of the people become something politicians can reject? When you no longer have a democracy, but an oligarchy.

Medina is a far left wing whacko. She is far more concerned about Steinorth’s concern for animals yet she advocates killing human life. Not adoption for human babies. Medina has a solid marriage, which she entered as a 18 year old and gave birth to five children. YET advocates for abortion. Mind controlled by left.
